Zach Charbonnet practised in full Saturday after a limited practice Friday and is off the injury report for Monday night's game against Chicago. He practised in full Thursday, was limited Friday, then returned to full participation Saturday. Seattle coach Mike Macdonald confirmed Charbonnet will make his 2026 debut Monday, 11 months after tearing his ACL in mid-January.

Charbonnet is set to lead the backfield in his return, though his volume may be reduced in his first game back. He has full clearance with no limitations expected. The matchup is Monday night against Chicago, who have allowed 16.7 half-PPR points a game to running backs, the 7th fewest of 32. With Emanuel Wilson and George Holani having handled the work in his absence and Velus Jones Jr. ruled out, Charbonnet should see meaningful touches as Seattle eases him back into action.

Zach Charbonnet

Charbonnet is off the injury report and cleared to play Monday night against Chicago after missing the entire season to this point rehabbing a torn ACL sustained in the divisional round on 17 January. He had surgery on 12 February and returned to practice 21 days before the 22 October deadline to be activated off the physically unable to perform list. His workload may be reduced in his first game back, but he should lead the backfield with no limitations expected after full clearance from the medical staff.

Our models project 7.5 half-PPR points a game, ranking him 34th at running back with a Roundup Score of 63 out of 99. He ranks 20th in efficiency, 30th in rushing value and 24th in role security amongst 111 running backs. The Bears have allowed 16.7 half-PPR points a game to running backs, the 7th fewest of 32, making this a tougher matchup than most. Hold Charbonnet through his return and monitor his workload closely.

What to do

• Hold Charbonnet in all leagues and monitor his workload Monday night to gauge how Seattle plans to use him going forward.

• Keep expectations modest for his first game back, as the club may cap his touches even with full medical clearance.

• Watch how Seattle divides work amongst Charbonnet, Wilson and Holani to assess his weekly value for the rest of the season.
